Bahler RC, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers investigated whether the outcomes in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS) in a community hospital cohort would be similar to those that have been reported primarily from tertiary centers or if clinical variables would have a more important role. They found that the dominant predictors of adverse outcomes in the studied community hospital cohort of asymptomatic patients with moderate to severe AS included direct echocardiographic measures of AS severity, echocardiographic parameters unrelated to AS severity plus the electrocardiographic variables of atrial fibrillation and LV strain.
